A must-see youth fantasy romance in April, the Tving original series 'One Week Before I Die' is coming.
The production team of the Tving original series 'One Week Before I Die' (produced by CJ ENM and Studio Mondo, provided by Tving) released a teaser trailer and teaser poster featuring memories of Ram Woo (played by Gong Myung) and Hee Wan (played by Kim Min Ha) on the 5th, heightening anticipation.
'One Week Before I Die' is a youth fantasy romance that unfolds when Hee Wan, who has turned her back on the world and let her youth slip away, encounters her first love Ram Woo, who appears as a grim reaper. Based on the warmly received novel of the same name (written by Seo Eun Chae), the story depicts a sparkling week where the thrilling past and the changed present intersect. Director Noh Deok, who has shown his unique color from films like 'Temperature of Love' and 'Exclusive: The Murder of Ryung Chen' to 'Glitch', takes on the creator role, while director Kim Hye Young, known for the film 'It's Okay, It's Okay, It's Okay!' and the drama 'Melody is My Type', directs, exciting drama fans. Above all, there is high expectation for the solid lineup of trusted actors including Gong Myung, Kim Min Ha, Jung Gun Joo, Oh Woo Ri, Ko Chang Seok, and Seo Young Hee, who will lead the story.
Having been invited to the Busan International Film Festival 'On Screen' last year and receiving a warm response, 'One Week Before I Die' has confirmed its release date for April 3, and the teaser poster and teaser trailer released on that day further ignite anticipation. First, the teaser poster, which captures the tingling excitement of first love, grabs attention. The fresh smiles of Ram Woo and Hee Wan in their school uniforms draw viewers into nostalgia. The phrase 'Our story that started with an April Fool's prank' above them, along with the memory of the two swapping name tags, piques curiosity.
The story of Ram Woo and Hee Wan shines even more in the teaser trailer released alongside. The one calling out to Ram Woo is none other than Hee Wan, who turns her head at her friend's shout. Unlike the reluctant Ram Woo, Hee Wan seems genuinely invested in this prank. During gym class, Hee Wan playfully pushes Ram Woo and runs to throw the ball, exuding a playful spirit that adds to the laughter. To Hee Wan, Tae Kyung (played by Oh Woo Ri) slyly asks, "Do you like Kim Ram Woo?" and Hee Wan, caught off guard by the unexpected question, breaks into a dazed smile.
The quiet Ram Woo soon becomes influenced by the lively Hee Wan. The four of them become 'close friends' with Hong Seok (played by Jung Gun Joo) and Tae Kyung. As Ram Woo's narration states, "It was a good thing to have something to like," happy moments of youth flow by. However, the situation soon takes a turn. Hee Wan's changed appearance, lying in a dark room without any motivation, hints at an unsettling change. The one who comes to find her is Ram Woo, who passed away four years ago. Ram Woo's appearance, saying to the surprised Hee Wan, "I came because I have something I must tell you," raises expectations for the unpredictable story that will unfold.
Gong Myung plays 'Ram Woo', who reappears as a grim reaper before his first love. Kim Min Ha, who is loved for her fresh charm and stable acting, takes on the role of 'Hee Wan', who changes the quiet and introverted Ram Woo. The two are expected to unfold a brilliant and beautiful story of youth that transcends the time of Ram Woo and Hee Wan. Attention is focused on the chemistry between Gong Myung and Kim Min Ha, who will delicately portray the emotions of characters changing with the passage of time and evoke memories of first love.
The Tving original series 'One Week Before I Die' will premiere its first and second episodes on Thursday, April 3, on Tving.
